National financial literacy program for seniors gets revitalized


Your Money Seniors is updated to better connect with senior Canadians across the country

TORONTO, Nov. 10, 2020 /CNW/ - Just in time for Financial Literacy Month, the Canadian Bankers Association (CBA) today launched a refreshed and modernized version of Your Money Seniors, a free non-commercial financial literacy seminar for Canadians entering or already in retirement. Notable improvements to the program include:

"Meeting the needs of seniors has always been a priority for banks in Canada," says Neil Parmenter, President and CEO, Canadian Bankers Association. "Many senior Canadians face similar questions: Will my money will last through retirement? How should I manage my financial affairs if I need physical or other assistance? What scams and frauds should I be aware of? Bankers have a depth of experience working with customers and the Your Money Seniors seminar can help answer these and other important questions."

The banking sector has long recognized that it has a role to play in supporting and strengthening the financial literacy skills of Canadians at all stages of life. Developed in collaboration with the Financial Consumer Agency of Canada and modelled on the CBA's highly successful Your Money Students program, Your Money Seniors covers essential information on how senior Canadians can:

Since launching Your Money Seniors in 2014, the CBA and its network of volunteers have delivered hundreds of seminars across Canada, reaching thousands of seniors. Seminars are presented by local bankers who volunteer their time and expertise in their community. The program aligns with and reinforces the federal government's National Strategy for Financial Literacy.

Seniors and adults across Canada can request a seminar in their community here: cba.ca/your-money-seniors-seminar-request-form?l=en-us.
